electric knife for slicing foam
|
just wondering... i have some foam that needs to be sliced, and i've heard talk of electric knives on this forum; can i get a cheap one ($15-$20 range) or is there a particular one that is needed? Thank you! |

I concur. I got one at Target for like $12 and it works great for cutting any kind of foam. The one that we had the most difficulty cutting - thought it might burn the motor up - was a 4" or so slice of Omalon foam. That stuff is DENSE! What I had was just a small sample piece and I could not get it in a higher ILD but if I could I would buy a 6" core of that stuff for a base! But the cheap electric knife did make it through the omalon and I've also cut 4" of HR high ILD foam with it, no problems. Latex, memory foam, everything... |

Yep, electric knife, not expensive, works great. I have one for foam in my business, used it for ten years now, still going strong! Kait |
